Public Access Plan

Things are moving in terms of Open Data! The Department of Energy has just released an update to its Public Access Plan (initially published in 2014), and embracing the use of persistent identifiers for papers and data, to promote the FAIR principles (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability of data and metadata.)

At Berkeley Lab, the Office of Research Compliance has updated its guideline, providing excellent resources to build a Data Management Plan.

Zenodo allows you to creat actual DOI for your data (data will include your ORCID and metadata.), albeit not as user-friendly – and to some extent, github works the same way (the visualization and graphical content is not the best.)

If you're art Berkeley Lab (or in the UC system), make sure your publications are listed here: https://oapolicy.universityofcalifornia.edu/.
